Intel is making their own graphics processor to compete with Nvidia and AMD in the gaming space. Intel Arc. it will support real time ray tracing something only Nvidia claimed for a long time before games would even support it.

It will probably not be good at math as it probably has the math co-processor from the first pentium chip. (for those that don’t know the first Pentium processors had a floating point math issue and because of that they were never used by NASA for the Space Shuttle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentium_FDIV_bug
